Director:  Alex Marzol

Speaking in Tongues by Andrew Bovell is an Australian play most familiar to audiences through its appropriation into the beloved Australian film Lantana. The play takes an alternative approach, with a cast of four playing nine characters, as the story unfolds in three parts. Unconventional playwriting intertwines the fractured storyline of a missing person, infidelities, and a mysterious stiletto, into an emotionally intelligent and alluring drama. A local mystery is unravelled and secrets sway between answers and doubt. Speaking in Tongues examines our yearning for connection, and the fallibility of humans when emotional distance occupies our relationships. We are also exposed to powerful connections between strangers, and the significance these may assume.
